IB server doesn't free memmory and my application turns extremely slow until
the ibserver is restarted.

Going back to the past (i mean keeping working with IBO3.3)... i'd like to
insist with my problem.

I've noticed that my application opens several transactions (about 250) for
small amount of data (tables that contains less than 20 rows). The fact is
that these datasets (most of them TIBOTable) have their property
IB_Transaction set to <default> and that causes the application to open
automatically one transaction for each open dataset.

is this amount of open transactions (which are never commited while the
application is running) a cause for the ibserver to start working slowly
after a couple of hours?
